I have been reading through the forum about the various
recommendations for hardware. The general consensus seems to be "more
mem and ssd drive". I am running 3.2, have 16gb mem, and a Samsung ssd
drive and it still takes 10 sec (timed it) to put up a terminal in a
new vm. While I can tolerate that I'm really wanting to explore
options that can give me a faster start up for apps (and appvms). Its
been awhile since I bought my CPU so I can't remember what it is
beyond a i5, if the /proc/cpuinfo is right (its a bit confusing for me
as I don't understand if its showing the nfo for the proc or a virtual
proc?) then I have a Intel Core i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz and it displays
for processor 0 and processor 1 so I will go out on a limb and assume
its a dual core?
Considering my current setup, and the fact that I wholly plan on
upgrading to qubes v4 once its stable, and that I am willing to fork
out for a new system (though with a pretty limited budget ~500) could
anyone make suggestions on the most logical route to take? (hopefully
not "grin and bear it").
Cheers
PS I have 30 VMs BUT don't usually run more than 10 at a time (due to
mem i guess) but would probably run about 15 regularly if I could.
I just forgot. I noticed that some places (librem I think, and System76

are selling computers with ME (partially) disabled on their intel procs,
does anyone know about either buying just procs or mobo/proc combos with
(partially) disabled intel ME procs?
